Yeah what did he actually accomplish? You know, beyond a vague "disrupting the Senate".

Even if it were for anything, the idea of shifting and pissing in a bucket while you ramble about nothing being a legit tacric means that whatever government is working that way should be destroyed and replaced. That's silly as hell.
